A sobering, personal documentary that turns a medical crisis into a quiet call to action, informative and emotionally direct.

Tagline: This documentary may just save your life.
Overview: Nearly one in two of us will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in our lives. David Nicholas Wilkinson is one of them, twice over. 1 in 2 follows Wilkinson through his own treatment, where he discovers a steep rise in bowel cancer among people far too young to be screened for it, and far too young, it seems, to be believed.
How it feels: Earnest, melancholic and tense. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Death, survival, healing, trauma
Content: Mild gore and language. No violence or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
